ETE BORDON I is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in the Jardim Picerno II neighborhood of Sumaré, within the Campinas metropolitan region of São Paulo state, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of around 3,404 residents, reflecting its role in a localized community within this rapidly urbanizing area. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is a biological process that significantly reduces organic matter and suspended solids. For small agglomerations in Brazil, secondary treatment is the standard required by national regulations, ensuring that effluent meets basic quality standards before discharge. The plant treats an average daily flow of 864 cubic meters. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Piracicaba River basin, a key tributary of the Tietê River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for downstream communities, industry, and agriculture. Proper treatment at ETE BORDON I helps protect the ecological health of the Piracicaba River system.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters local streams that flow into the Piracicaba River, a major tributary of the Tietê River, which eventually reaches the Paraná River basin and the Río de la Plata estuary. The Piracicaba River supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is an important water source for the Campinas region. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollution, helping to maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive watershed.
